Why MYSTERIES? Because that is the genre I read. Why PARADISE? Because that is where I live.
Among other things, this blog, the result of a 2008 New Year's resolution, will act as a record of books that I've read, and random thoughts.

The first edition of this meme will appear on 4 April 2012 and it's really easy to participate.
There'll be a Mr Linky at the bottom of a post here on MiP that day.

Just write a post about the best new-to-you crime fiction authors you've read so far this year (end of March), 2012, put a link to this meme in your post, and even use the logo if you like.
The books don't necessarily need to be newly published and you can list all the new-to-you crime fiction authors if you wish. The best format would be to link in your post to the particular posts where you reviewed those titles.

After writing your summary post, then come back to MiP and add your link to Mr Linky.
Visit the links posted by other participants in the meme to discover even more books to read.

This meme will run at the end of June, September and December this year.

This meme feels less intimidating than the "Alphabet in Crime Fiction" meme. I read a fair amount of books, including crime fiction, by authors I haven't heard of or never read before and so far I have enjoyed what I have read. While I get sufficient time to read books, I can't say the same about reviewing them. Thanks for the announcement.
